A method of forming an implant to be implanted into living bone is disclosed. The method includes the act of roughening at least a portion of the implant surface to produce a microscale roughened surface. The method further includes forming a nanoscale roughened surface on the microscale roughened surface. The method further includes the act of depositing discrete nanoparticles on the nanoscale roughened surface though a one-step process of exposing the roughened surface to a solution including the nanoparticles. The nanoparticles have a material having a property that promotes osseointegration.

An implant fixture is disclosed. The implant fixture contains an elongated shaft section, and a head section, wherein the head section contains at least one concave area for bone growth therein.

A cementless type dental implant includes: an abutment having vertical slits spaced apart from each other around an upper portion thereof, and having elastic coupling protrusions disposed between the vertical slits and radially providing elasticity; a crown cap having a coupling portion formed at a lower portion therein so that the upper portion of the abutment is inserted therein, having a screw hole formed at an upper portion therein, having a coupling step formed at a center therein to couple the elastic coupling protrusions of the abutment, and having a crown integrally formed outside; and an abutment screw inserted and fastened in a screw insertion hole of the abutment and having a protrusion pressing portion formed at an upper end thereof and pushing the elastic coupling protrusions radially outward when being fastened such that the elastic coupling protrusions are coupled inside the coupling step of the crown cap.

An anatomical healing abutment is configured to connect to a dental implant. The healing abutment has a body portion which includes at least three reference marks that provide data to orient the connection axis of the abutment with the that of the dental implant so that certain conventional steps, including healing abutment manipulation, multiple scans, and the taking of impressions, can be eliminated, thereby saving time and effort on the part of the practitioner.

A dental implant with a specialized thread arrangement is disclosed. The dental implant includes a cylindrical upper section and a tapered lower section coupled to the cylindrical upper section. A helical thread is located on the exterior surface of the cylindrical upper section and the tapered lower section. A path is defined by the helical thread. The helical thread has a section on the exterior surface of the cylindrical body section and a section on the tapered body section. A cutting tooth is formed on the helical thread where the thread section on the cylindrical body section transitions into the thread section on the tapered body section. The cutting tooth allows minimal torque to be applied to create stability of the implant by cutting into the dense part of the bone.

A dental implant for supporting periodontal tissue and the supporting bone is provided. The dental implant includes an implant member with inner canal for insertion into a periodontal bone socket, and an anchoring assembly. The anchoring assembly includes a first fastening element and radially equidistant cylindrical members. The first fastening element engages the implant member within the hollow axial cavity. The root section includes through-holes for radially and forcibly sliding the cylindrical members through them. When the first fastening element apically advances within the hollow axial cavity, the cylindrical members generate an anchoring force to anchor the dental implant.

A sleeve for installing a crown on a miniature dental implant. The sleeve has a bore for receiving an abutment on a miniature dental implant. The sleeve has a shape configured and arranged for being received in the bore of a dental crown to prevent dental cement from flowing to the gum line.

The present invention proposes an implant assembly provided with an abutment that enables easy coupling with a crown. An abutment (20) according to the present invention has a fastening depression (24) that is formed in the center thereof and a top inclined surface (22) that increases outward from the top end of the fastening depression (24), and is fixed to the upper portion of a fixture (80) that is fixed to the alveolar bone. A crown link (30) has a bottom inclined surface (32) and a crown support portion (36). When the crown link (30) is placed on the abutment (20), the top inclined surface (22) and the bottom inclined surface (32) are coupled to each other, and simultaneously the through hole (38) of the crown link (30) and the fastening depression (24) of the abutment (20) are coaxially aligned with each other.

The present invention relates to a dental implant having an anchoring system consisting of foldable fins actuated by an insertion screw; the dental implant is characterised by the following components: an implant body that comprises an implant-abutment connection zone, an externally threaded zone, at least one pair of exit openings and an internally threaded zone; an anchoring means comprising at least one pair of foldable fins and a top opening; an insertion screw comprising a head with an internal hexagonal socket, a stem and a screw thread; when the insertion screw is screwed into the top opening of the anchoring means, it pushes the anchoring means down into the implant body and causes the foldable fins to extend outwards through the exit openings.
